February 5 @ 7:30 pm
In honor of Jewish Disabilities Awareness, Acceptance and Inclusion Month (JDAIM), join an evening with Judge David Tatel, as he discusses his book, Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice.
Judge Tatel served as a Justice on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for 30 years while navigating his own loss of vision. At this event we will hear from him about his career in the legal system and the role his blindness played in his personal, professional and Jewish life.
Judge Tatel’s book, Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice will be available for purchase thanks to the collaboration of The Ivy Bookshop and The Jewish Library of Baltimore. Both Judge Tatel and his guide dog, Vixen, will be signing the books after the discussion.
